Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is the name of the large, long bone found in the upper leg?

Answer: Femur

The femur is the largest bone in the body. It helps support your weight and it takes a great deal of force to fracture or break it.
2. What is the name of the 'tubes' which connect the kidneys to the bladder?

Answer: Ureter

The ureters are narrow 'tubes' which drain the urine from the kidneys and transport it to the bladder.
3. What is the name of the blood vessels with the smallest diameter in the body?

Answer: Capillaries

Capillaries are the vessels which directly transfer oxygen and waste products between the blood and the body's tissues.
4. What is the anatomical name for the commonly termed 'windpipe'?

Answer: Trachea

The trachea or 'windpipe' essentially connects the pharynx (throat) to the lungs. It is structurally made up of epithelium, muscles and C-shaped cartilage.
5. How do you spell the anatomical name of the 'tube' which runs between the pharynx and the stomach? (British English)

Answer: Oesophagus

The oesophagus is roughly 25cm in length and provides a contained passageway in which undigested food and drink travel through from the pharynx to the stomach. Sometimes, these edibles end up travelling in the opposite direction which is termed reflux and if they reach the oral cavity, vomiting.
6. What is the name given to cells solely located within the nervous system?

Answer: Neurons

Neurons play a vital role in allowing neurotransmitters (and thus nerve impulses) to travel from one part of the body to another. This results in changes occurring to the body such as the increase/decrease of the heart rate and the ability to see.
7. What is the top layer of the skin called?

Answer: Epidermis

The epidermis is what you and I see when we observe someone's skin. It is a protective barrier and thus prevents most pathogens from entering our body.
8. The uterus and vagina are joined together by what structure?

Answer: Cervix

The cervix has the ability to stretch to 10cm during labour in order for the baby to pass from the uterus into the vaginal canal.
9. Where are the adrenal glands located?

Answer: On top of the kidneys

The adrenal gland's main function is to release hormones in times of stress. These include hormones such as cortisol and adrenalin (epinephrine).
10. Which white blood cell is typically only found in the acute stage of inflammation?

Answer: Neutrophil

Neutrophils are known to quickly respond to acute inflammation and are a phagocytic cell, meaning that they ingest microorganisms in order to stop the spread of pathogens in the body.
